Expert Tips

  • Red curry paste can vary in spice level. I usually use the Taste of Thai brand which is fairly mild. For less spice, reduce the amount of curry paste.
  • Warming the peanut butter for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave really helps make it easier to whisk and incorporate into the dressing.
  • This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken!
